Question

Debbie has 8 quarters and 24 pennies in her piggy bank.she has n times as many pennies as quarters.which equation can be used to find n

Answer 1

`24=8n`

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of quarters

y------> the number of pennies

we have

`x=8\ quarters`

`y=24\ pennies`

we know that

`y=nx`

Substitute the value of x and the value of y and solve for n

`24=8n` ------> equation that can be used to find the value of n

`n=3`

Answer 2

To answer this problem, these are the steps.

First, form debbies equation:
Debbie has 8 quarters and 24 pennies.

Let Q for number quarters
Let P for number pennies

It says that she has N times as many pennies as quarters.
This means that Q = P

So, the equation would be 8Q = 24P
To further simplify the equation
8Q = 24P
Q = 3P

So, 1 quarter is equal to 3 pennies.
